THRIVE

You want a workplace that values culture.

The RTAA empowers all of our employees and develops paths for them to THRIVE in the workplace. Our culture was not only created by our employees, but was quickly adopted, supported, and modeled by our Executive Leadership Team and CEO. This set of core values is what makes working for RTAA meaningful—and it drives everything that we do. 

Teamwork for Results

Teamwork is the foundation of any successful organization—but in order to work as a team, we need to trust one another. By empowering our colleagues to do the best work they can to the best of their abilities while reassuring them that there will always be support when they need it, we give our employees the autonomy to use their best judgment in every situation. This builds a foundation of trust in order to perform at the highest level and achieve the greatest results.

Honesty & Integrity

There is no trust or teamwork without honesty and integrity. When we can trust that our words and actions are always expressed with positive intent towards individual teammates and the organization as a whole, everyone benefits.

Respect & Recognition

We celebrate both our teams and individual accomplishments! Respect and recognition are both given and received at RTAA. Working at an airport is exciting—but it’s no secret there are many moving parts. When we give honest recognition and respect where it’s due, regardless of the subject matter, we encourage open and courteous communication. Every person who works here is of critical importance to our mission, and we’ll always recognize that.

Inspire & Innovate

Every single person at RTAA has the capability to affect our organization in a positive way, and we encourage it! This ripple effect moves throughout our organization and ignites in each of us an important reminder—we all do vital work—and that work impacts the lives of our co-workers, communities, and region every single day. With all of this in mind, we happily share breakthroughs and freely express our ideas (no idea is a bad idea!) to actively improve our organization and to continually reach for the sky by letting the mission that we hold so dear guide our way.

Versatility

RNO functions like a city. In an organization of our size, agility is key. While providing clear direction is important, so is the ability to be flexible in the way we approach tasks, challenges, and opportunities. There is rarely only one way to do something, and maybe we need to explore other options in order to achieve the greatest success, there’s no harm in that.

Enthusiasm for Excellence

A positive attitude can really take you places. By choosing to bring an enthusiasm for excellence to every task we undertake, we recognize the value of our work and the relationships we’re building. We work at RTAA because this region feels like home—and we want visitors to experience that feeling, too.
